Setting "hot keys" for Firefox Screenshot downloading

Sometimes, when I want to use the Take a Screenshot function (on my toolbar) to save a long section of a page, after selecting what I want and scrolling down to the Download button, the process positions the page's floating 'identification' bar across the the middle of the picture. Is there a way to set a keyboard shortcut to trigger the download command after making the selection, without the need to scroll down to see the button? This would greatly simplify the process. In some limited searching and testing, I haven't found anything that accomplishes this.

I have attached a screenshot of a page to serve as an example of how the bar is superimposed.

FWIW, this system is still running Windows 7, Firefox 115.22.0 esr.

I get a reasonable number of TEAMS & Zoom invites by email into my Firefox account.

I have 2 questions ...

1. Can I add Google Calendar to FireFox Calendars ..... or vice versa ... so I can add an invite to FireFox calendar and have it show in Google Calendar.

2. Currently if the invite includes an .ics file I can import that into Google Calendar ..... clunky, but works. However many invites do not include an .ics file ..... as the invfite has arrived in FireFox .... can that generate an .ics file ?

I need to use Google Calendar as it provides cross platform support of multiple calendars.

Hello everyone,

When I create a new event in the calendar, I click on the start day and use the drop-down mini-calendar to pick the right day. Unfortunately, this drop-down shows a misleading view – the first column shows up as Sunday. How can I fix it? Seeing Monday in the first column would be much more natural. Sunday as a first columns is very confusing and leads to miss-setting the date of an event.

Thank you Paweł

Hi, I have a strange experience with thunderbird's calendar: an hour or two after i created a new appointment in my calendar, i cannot change this appointment anymore. When i do so, this appointment is not saved anymore when i click on "save & close". When i alter and save this appointment within the hour it works normally and the item is saved as expected. I searched the settings, but nothing could be found concerning this issue. My OS: Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS. Thank you very much for your efforts. Wyl. Holland.

Last night, Firefox spontaneously stopped recognizing input from my Logitech M650 L mouse's side buttons used to go back and forward through the browsing history of the current tab. I've tried refreshing firefox, checking the mouse software, trying a different profile, trying firefox in safe mode, checked the firefox config and the mouse button inputs were set to "true", tried clearing the cache, and even tested on a website that shows you your mouse inputs and the side buttons were not detected at all, while all other buttons were detected fine. The side buttons work fine in all other programs and browsers on my PC: Windows 10 64 bit.

There was a brief period where they started working again last night, but seemed to stop upon reboot my computer.

My eyes aren't so good any more, so this is fairly important. When I want to search, as soon as I start typing and even though the center box is highlighted, the text jumps to the upper box. How do I keep it in the center box? It's probably a setting, but I can't find it.

Thanks to any responders.

I've created many filters to send spam that I don't want to a "ToDelete" folder (don't quite trust it to actually delete them). Most of these are filtering the "From" field, and I've included words such as "investmentmarketing" in addition to actually .com address. Apparently I've included the word "marketing" as well, but that's "deleted" some emails I want. I have 5 separate filters, each with dozens of words to exclude, and can't find that word.

Is there a way to Search the words used in the filters, to locate this one and delete it? Lacking that, is there a way to Export these values, to help find it? Lacking that, are these words kept in a file that I can search to find it?

Firefox for iPadOS.

New iPad. Restored from backup. Wasn’t working right so I removed and reinstalled. While I thought my previous version was up to date, the new one looks different. The toolbar/address bar looks different. Missing is the ⭐️ bookmark button that used to be to the right of the address box. Now I have to go to the menu to find it. It’s an annoying extra step.

Is there a way to get it back to where it used to be?

When I paste an URL in the address bar with Ctrl+V and then press Enter before releasing Ctrl, the page is opened in a new tab. How can I disable that? I want it in the same tab. (If I release Ctrl and then hold it again before pressing Enter, it opens in the same tab already.)
